Aigaion the Bee-Wolf

Aigaion the Bee-Wolf (died 431 BC) was a Greek mercenary during the Peloponnesian War.

Biography
Aigaion tended to keep to the wild lands, but it is unsure whether it was due to his disdain for humanity or his large, furry traveling companion. He received his title and his bear by stealing honey from hives and feeding it to a lost cub, and their bond grew until they became constant companions. In 431 BC, he was hired to hunt down the rival Spartan mercenary Kassandra at Fort Tiryns, but, as he tried to climb the fort walls from a rock formation, he was shot in the head by several arrows fired by Kassandra, and he died of his wounds.
